TKT Reflection 6: Which method of learning English would you prefer: communicative, form-focused, grammar-translation, or a combination of these? Why?

I think that I would choose a combination of those because different methods and approaches can be helpful and easily apply according to the topic or grammar point I would have to teach. Even though I consider grammar-translation a bit boring, at lower levels it is necessary to give students feedback in their L1, but using it a whole class, or a whole unit, can be also boring and tiring for me, the teacher, as well as the students.

I cannot say at this stage which method of learning I am going to use with my students for sure. I think it will depend on my working experience and also on the level of the students I would teach at a given time. I also consider that I have to keep studying and learning and being updated with the latest trends and ways of teaching Let’s time goes by; only experience and time would tell.
